Re. LAVA antenna: You already bought it. Though I would not recommend it to anyone, under any circumstances, there is no reason for me to speak ill of it here. You are obviously receiving signals with it, though not all that you should have access too.

If you move it outside, it may provide reception of channel 9, or the internal amplifier may be overloaded by the stronger signal levels it will be subjected to.

As far as how much signal will be reflected or absorbed by the materials in your home construction, I can only say that all materials will have some effect. You can most certainly expect to have access to higher signal strength and quality outside the building.

I stand by my suggestion of an RCA ANT751 pointed SE and no amplifier.
